73. Land reclamation

Due to the certain industrial pollution in pottery making, pottery shops were arranged to be far away from the city.

Luo Wei chose the lower reaches of Xiaoqing River, a river bank where clay can be used at any time.

In the future, the pottery will be fired nearby and the finished products will be transported to the city for sale. It is also quite convenient.

Long before the announcement of the admission of apprentices was issued, someone had already built the furnace first. It seems that the construction is far from complete.

"It's here." Lovey stopped and gestured to the children with his eyes.

There are about dozens of people busy and very deserted scenes in the under construction site ahead.

The children were all a little disappointed: “Do we live here?”

"No need for now. After the workshop is built, you can come over again." Luo Wei's face heated. This sentence was very slap in the face, but fortunately the children didn't care much. He emphasized the purpose of bringing people to him: "Do you remember the location?"

"Remember." Everyone said in unison.

"Very good, I'll tell you the process of making pottery, which is a very simple step." Lovey raised his hand and pointed at the bank of the river, "It's the soil, which I call clay. You go and dig out the soil to make the shape people want. After forming, remember to leave it for a while. Waiting for the pottery to dry out, it usually takes about five days to a week. After it is dry, put the pottery into a furnace for three or four minutes. Finally, you can make the finished low-temperature pottery."

Most of the apprentices had a confused expression on their faces. Some little girls were still holding their fingers and staring their eyes widened cutely.

Luo Wei was helpless. He knew that he had to demonstrate, but there was no stove here.

Forget it, let's take people back to Fulin Castle...

A white cooing bird flew past the sky.

Zoe raised his bow and pulled the strings, narrowing his eyes slightly. When the right time, release his fingers.

The last trace of the arrow hit the Gugubi, and the force was exhausted. However, the Gugubi was so scared that he fell from the sky.

The onlookers quickly chased after him and carried the landing gurgling bird in their hands.

Zoe slowly lowered the longbow in his hand and waved his hand to signal the members around him to continue moving forward.

Emptying wild animals near human settlements is an important protection measure.

Especially some medium-sized beasts near the gathering places are likely to attract large hunters. This is very unsafe for humans.

Zoe carried a bow and arrow, looked for a tall tree, and climbed to the top of the big tree in one breath. His eyes looked into the distance as much as possible.

The forest and the cleared farmland are just separated by a small mound, which may slightly increase people's sense of security.

This is also an important reason why scholar Bruno chose this place as the initial place.

The first day of land reclamation.

Bruno did not choose to divide the land immediately, but asked the people to build houses first.

Before the severe winter comes, everyone must have their own wooden house. Otherwise, it is not impossible to freeze half of the people to death, let alone open up the land.

In terms of food, don't worry too much now.

Zoe hunted many medium-sized beasts, and each of them got a few kilograms of meat. It was just that there was not enough salt to marinate the meat, which made it impossible to store for a long time, which was a pity.

According to the principle, Donggang City, which is in the sea, should not be short of salt.

But in fact, even ordinary coarse salt is a very precious material for civilians. Only by constantly boiling sea water can you get some, which is very expensive.

Bruno looked forward to Lovie sending a batch of salt and a batch of farm tools.

I think it's unlikely in a short time...

Fulin Castle.

Lovey showed the children his pottery works: "See or not, after a few days, the surface of the clay will become dryer."

Children were curious about looking at the clay sculptures of the hydraulic mill. Such a complex model could easily arouse people's interest.

Not to mention children, even some adults are curious.

"After the pottery is dried in the shade, it can be thrown into the fire to fire, which is the final result..."

Luo Wei handed the cooked plates to everyone to take turns to observe, and some smart children already understood.

Shalang said in a crisp voice: "Mr. Lord, you mean that after we put our mud dry, we put it into the fire."

"So smart." Love is very proud of it: "What's your name?"

"My name is Shalang." The girl bowed timidly.

Luo Wei nodded slightly. He had already had a certain impression of the gray-haired little girl in front of him. Although there are many girls in Taofang apprentices, they are considered beautiful, and there is only one of them.

Then he led the children to the iron shop.

Mussophie went out to refine coke, and the furnace was temporarily vacant and could be used.

The female guards who accompanied him were dispatched into the furnace, arranged Luo Wei's clay sculptures neatly.

After igniting the charcoal fire, the pottery in the kiln gradually turned red with flames, like a lit lantern.

After four hours of low-temperature pottery firing, Luo Wei once again emphasized to the apprentices.

Someone asked how long it took for four hours?

Luo Wei thought about it, but there was no way to explain it well.

It is basically impossible to provide a clock for Taofang in the early stage, but it can only be roughly described as when the sun rises in the morning and when lunch is at home.

Or when lunch is at home, when the sun sets in the afternoon.

If there is an extra hour or two, the problem is not very big.

Lowe was a little serious about his personality, so he decided to make the concept of time more specific. He brought the apprentices back to the conference hall and pointed to the clock's pointer to describe it. The time when the sun rises and eats is used as a rough measure.

The time should be earlier. Most people are confused about how much they are.

Perhaps there are a few smart people who understand it, and Lovie does not have too many expectations. The seeds have been sown, and whether they can bear fruit can only depend on their luck.

Luo Wei knew very well that he was just a man who talked on paper, and it would be okay to speak out for more words.

The real industry development can only be achieved by these talented children.

Before announcing his dissolution, Lovie gave each person a set of thick clothes and a silver dollar. He also made his own request.

During the construction of Taofang, I completed my own works as much as possible.

He will select a class leader of the apprentice class based on the quantity and quality of the finished pottery...

"Young Master, your government affairs have not been handled today!" Lan Lan whispered.

"What's more important?" Love said lazily.

"I don't know, I don't understand either."

Lan Lan came up and pressed Luo Wei's shoulders. Now she could understand Luo Wei's wink.

There is no need for a word of nonsense, this is the degree of running-in.

"There is no important thing, so let's go tomorrow." Luo Wei naturally used Lanlan as his backrest and narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Lanlan's face turned red and she looked around nervously.
